The
Pilgrim Trust
The Pilgrim Trust was founded in 1930 by Edward
Stephen Harkness of New York in admiration for what Great
Britain had done in the First World War. Today, the Trustees
commit around £1.5 million each year in grants.
What is the funding for?
The Trustees’ current priorities are:
Preservation
The Trustees have a special interest in:
• The preservation of historic buildings and architectural
features particularly projects giving a new use to buildings
of outstanding architectural or historic interest
• Conservation of works of art,books,manuscripts,photographs
and documents and museum objects
• Promotion of knowledge through academic research and
its dissemination for which public funding is not available
including cataloguing.
Places of Worship
• The Pilgrim Trust makes annual block grants for the
repair of the fabric of historic churches to the Scottish
Churches Architectural Heritage Trust.
Social Welfare
• Projects that assist and support people involved in
alcohol or drug misuse. Trustees have a special interest in
the provision of specialist services for young people, for
those from black and ethnic minority groups and for women
with multiple needs. They look favourably at new models of
service provision for these groups.
• Projects in prisons and projects providing alternatives
to custody, in particular those that assist prisoners to acquire
new skills or give support to their families.
• Trustees will consider projects that seek to inform
and develop policy and practice in the priority areas outlined
above.
How much money is available?
The Trust offers small grants of up to £5,000 for which
a less detailed assessment is carried out. For larger sums
of over £5,000 a site visit or meeting may be required.
